Earlier today, The CW announced it has picked up One albero collina for a full season.
To many fan of the show, this is exciting for one huge reason: più Robert Buckley!
The former Lipstick Jungle stella, star has come aboard the long-time series in the role of Clay. In an exclusive interview, he tells TV Fanatic about joining the cast, as well as not wearing a shirt...
TV Fanatic: Are te wearing a camicia right now?
Robert Buckley: Yes.
TV Fanatic: Does it ever bother te that you're almost as well known for your literal body of work as for your recitazione skills?
Buckley: No, because it was never to the detriment of my performance. Going back to Lipstick Jungle, I know I received compliments on the superficial, so to speak, but it was never detto in a way that implied I lacked talent as an actor.
That being said, I knew I wanted a new role that was più than just the half-naked, cabana boy. You'll see me in a lot più clothing on One albero Hill.
TV Fanatic: You've come aboard a long-running mostra and sort of replaced one of its bigger stars, Chad Michael Murray. Have te felt any pressure in that regard?
Buckley: I never looked at it that way. The mostra jumped ahead 14 months, so Lucas and Peyton had a child and left; it was a natural course of events.
A lot can happen in real life in a year's time, so there's wasn't pressure to fill anyone's shoes. The storyline made sense that I wouldn't be treated as a replacement.
TV Fanatic: Did it help that te weren't the only new cast member this season? (Jana Kramer and Shantel VanSanten are also new regulars.)
Buckley: I felt self-imposed pressure because the mostra has been a success for six years. I felt like the new kid in school, but I buddied up quickly with Shanel. We were like the two kids not sitting at the cool tavolo at lunch.
I didn't know anyone else in the cast at first, but everyone was so warm and welcoming.
TV Fanatic: How did te approach the role of a sports agent? That profession doesn't have the best reputation.
Buckley: I detto right away that I had no interest in playing Clay as the stereotypical, one-note agent. Someone with no redeeming qualities gets old really fast.
To prepare, I actually watched a movie I already loved: Glengarry Glen Ross. It helped give me an idea of how to argue and how to go head-to-head against someone.
TV Fanatic: Can te give us any One albero collina spoilers.
Buckley: We've already alluded to a mystery in Clay's past. In the first episode, he detto he doesn't believe in love. That's an interesting statement. It will be explained più over the successivo five episodes. Viewers will find out più about who Clay really is. Why is he in albero collina and not Los Angeles?

One albero collina rep is now confirming what I first hinted at in Ask Ausiello: The cagna is back!
Danneel Harris has closed a deal to reprise her role as pot-stirrer Rachel Gatina in at least seven episodes successivo season, beginning with eppy 7.02.
Harris made her albero collina debut as Brooke's high school nemesis in season 3 but wasn't made a series regular until season 4. She was written out in season 5 after only a handful of episodes, an apparent victim of the show's four-year flash forward.
In other albero collina news, the last of successivo season's new contract roles has gone to Nuevo 90210 grad Jana Kramer. She'll play Alexis, a model who becomes the new face of Brooke's clothing line. As previously reported, Lipstick Jungle's Robert Buckley and relative newcomer Shantel VanSanten are also joining the cast as Nathan's sports agent and Haley's sister
